From c4d7f40b250c1a4d74ed259e84807f58032507b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2022 03:15:29 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: add cmd_file_size Some architectures support self-extracting kernel, which embeds the compressed vmlinux. It has 4 byte data at the end so the decompressor can know the vmlinux size beforehand. GZIP natively has it in the trailer, but for the other compression algorithms, the hand-crafted trailer is added. It is unneeded to generate such _corrupted_ compressed files because it is possible to pass the size data as a separate file. For example, the assembly code: .incbin "compressed-vmlinux-with-size-data" can be transformed to: .incbin "compressed-vmlinux" .incbin "size-data" My hope is, after some reworks of the decompressors, the macros cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}_with_size will go away. This new macro, cmd_file_size, will be useful to generate a separate size-data file.
